Financial Hell Is About to Break Loose in #American #Schools
Trump’s new #school funding, part of #OneBigBeautifulBill Act, will kick in January 2027. It’s going to create a financial tsunami for #publicschools. There’s no mystery to it: We already know what will happen, because the scheme is not new at all. It brings us back to the bad old days, to the failed and inadequate divided school budgets from before the Civil War, that modern #publicschool were designed to fix.

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: White House Scrubs Gender-Based Bullying From Civil Rights Survey
Source: PBS News Hour
The Trump administration this week quietly released an update to a major survey on civil rights in schools that removed all data related to nonbinary students or bullying based on gender identity. The numbers come from the Education Department's Civil Rights Data Collection, a survey of nearly every public school in the nation. The release this week covers the 2023-2024, when the survey included "nonbinary" as a gender category alongside male...

As a Student Teacher at Fort Clayton Elementary School in the Canal Zone, I taught an original unit on pioneers. This 'magic marker on sheet' 'quilt' was my second graders' final project.

“The department will not tolerate school districts playing fast & loose with federal law in the service of radical gender ideology,” Harmeet K. Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for “ #CivilRights “, said in a statement.
The school district, a mostly #Hispanic & #Black district that ranks the fifth largest in #Kansas with about 20,000 students, maintained that it was in full compliance with federal #law.

Absolute absurdity
The #Trump #DOJ sued #KansasCity, #Kansas #PublicSchools on Tuesday, accusing the district of facilitating the “secret transition” of students’ #gender without their parents’ knowledge or consent. [this is not a real thing]

The case would be one of the most significant dealing with #religion in #PublicSchools since an ideologically divided #SCOTUS ruled in 2022 that a former public high school football coach’s on-field prayers were protected under the #FirstAmendment’s right to #FreeSpeech.
In the current case, the [ultra-conservative] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit in New Orleans upheld the #Texas #law on a 9-8 vote, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the measure #unconstitutional. -
The justices are expected to decide in coming months whether to take up the case, which is being closely watched as conservatives…work to expand #religious “rights” [ #Christian #evangelism ] in public spaces & opponents battle them in court. In April, a conservative appeals court upheld the law in a narrowly divided opinion.

#CivilLiberties groups Monday asked #SCOTUS to hear their challenge of a #Texas #law requiring that all #PublicSchools’ classrooms display the #TenCommandments, potentially setting up a landmark clash over the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
#SCOTUS asked to hear case on #Texas #law requiring #TenCommandments in #schools
The case could set up a landmark clash over the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.
With this #SupremeCourt, I truly fear the outcome.

The three women of different (or no) faiths all want the same thing. A recently filed attempt to remove #Christian teachings from #PublicSchools used #StateLaw - not federal - and is awaiting #appeal.
(Christians know they're breaking the law. But they're convinced that we're possessed by #demons, so they don't care. Hard to argue with these people.)

Sometime soon - I'd like to openly discuss where the #safety line is drawn for other students, staff & educational volunteers when kid on kid violence happens & one of the kids is #ASD #SpecialNeeds. I haven't been able to figure this out. How can we keep kids like this in schools because we need to find ways to do that. Kicking them out doesn't help society, in the long run.
I support trying our best to help misunderstood ASD kids & helping them get more supports at younger ages. Many don't get enough supports.
I have tolerated a lot of physical abuses (being spat on, punched, kicked, getting scratched & hair pulled, etc.) because many #descalation methods didn't work on the job. I worked in an elementary school in North Saanich as a specialized teacher's assistant & all the students I worked with were ASD on varying levels.We had 2 quiet therapy rooms. Those were the only safe sanctuaries for the ASD kids who felt overloaded & needed to be away from everyone else. Often, we had multiple kids having meltdowns & there wasn't any other sanctuary spots for them within the small school. I felt so helpless during those days but pretended everything was A-OK. I took kids out to the yard & to the gardens to try & distract them. Sometimes that worked. Other times, I had to deal with multiple screaming kids, having mass meltdowns at the same time - when we were constantly understaffed. That was a very difficult job. I was severely underpaid for it.
ASD kids needed more support staff in schools & they still do. They all deserve that investment from our government. They are all worth the investment.

This is wild, but not unexpected.
The #Democratic ticket won all four open seats on the #Souderton Area School District board on a platform of #transparency but the outgoing board is salting the earth by ramming through (consent agenda, single reading) a policy to restrict the future members from documents if they had previously filed #RightToKnow requests and generally limiting board member ability to request what they need to perform their duties. #PublicSchools
